I think it might just be the picture quality, but the Obi-Wan looks kinda thin. Looking at the high-res photos and the Toy Fair slideshow I'm still confident it's going to be an awesome figure and I'll buy multiples like I did the AOTC Obi-Wan.

The other one from this set I want is the Gungan Warrior. A few of those interspersed in my Naboo battle scene will look great.

Peacekeeper, when it absolutely, positively has to be nuked in 30 minutes or less. Or the next nuke's free!

Kenobi IS sorta thin necked in TPM though. I think Lucas was trying to give him a less mature look due to the age of the character. I think McGregor beefed up slightly for AOTC and almost definately for ROTS.

I was actually thinking his slightly thinner sculpt was kind of neat, to display his youth.

I'm guessing that someone saw a proto of Rum Sleg and assumed it was Danz Borin...which is why he is on the list. Not that I don't want a Danz Borin but it is an odd choice over a lot of the other Cantina Monsters

What, is this supposed to be Hasbro's homage to Jason from Friday the 13th?

Haha, hilarious. It's funny how a guy like this could end up in the Star Wars movies. He does look like Jason! It's creative on Lucas's part on how he keeps his mind open for Star Wars.

Moving on to the Wave 8 itself, it's somewhat disappointing that a SA definite version of Darth Maul wasn't included in the lineup. We're getting him for the Greatest Hits line, but it would have added a core character into the mix.

And why did Hasbro use an Ep.6 pic of Palpatine instead using one of the common holographic Darth Sidious pics?
